What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Semi-detached villa, 160sqm at 344 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 375 (n=495, solid). Priced ~8% below median, habitable structure needing modernization not a ruin. Fresh listing (6 days). Energy class G and full renovation needed add cost (~500 EUR/m2 = ~80k), but purchase price is low and description credible with 26 photos. Inland Campania location, no sea proximity. Decent value for renovation project.
More on the house and the area
Semi-detached townhouse in Mugnano del Cardinale needing complete renovation. Photos show stripped rooms with leaning door frames, cracked/peeling plaster, damp damage, exposed wiring, and dated tile floors. The exterior is a weathered street-facing facade with staining. Bathrooms and bedrooms are dated and worn. A brick fireplace is present but unremarkable. No standout interior, view, or location features. At 344 EUR/m2 for 160 sqm it is cheap, but the required renovation scope offsets any bargain appeal. Ordinary fixer-upper with no scroll-stopping qualities.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €31,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.
